Chapter 7: Granada

Granada is a La Liga team located in the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1931, Granada is known as the "lift" of Spanish football, and in the club's 88-year history, it has played in almost all levels of the Spanish professional league for various reasons.

This team still has a deep relationship with China!

In 2016, Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang successfully acquired Granada from the Pozzo family, thus becoming the largest shareholder of the team! Jiang Lizhang actually doesn't just have a Granada, he is also the owner of two teams, Chongqing Contemporary Lifan Club and Parma, and the 5% stake of the NBA team Timberwolves also used to belong to him.

Granada, a veteran of La Liga, were relegated two years ago. Jiang Lizhang thought that the players were good at that time, but as a new army, there was no cohesion and could not play its due combat effectiveness.

Defeat or even relegation is a topic that every fan and businessman does not want to mention, but Jiang Lizhang is not shy about it. When he was relegated two years ago, Jiang Lizhang once wrote a letter to fans, promising that the club would return to La Liga within two years, and this letter was questioned a lot at that time, and he was determined to move towards the goal and direction he identified along the way.

It is with this down-to-earth, pampered, long-term, and regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place, that after the 2018 season, Granada successfully promoted La Liga!

Even after the start of the new season, it became a big dark horse in La Liga, with a hearty 4-4 away game with the strong Villarreal in the first round, and defeated Wu Lei's Espanyol team away, and defeated Barcelona 2-0 at home, stepping on the "corpse" of the giants of the "Western Super League", and historically being in the leading position in the first few rounds of La Liga, at least before Ji Qin crossed, Granada did not fall out of the championship zone!

This La Liga promoted team has a solid defense and sharp counterattacks, and there are Chinese players at all levels of Granada's echelon, including Hao Haidong's son Hao Runze, goalkeeper Wang Zixiang, who later transferred to Chongqing Sway, and Li Tenglong, a young player who later transferred to the Chinese national youth team, who followed the Granada youth team and the youth team to compete in youth leagues at all levels, and there is no Chinese player in the Granada first team at present.

There is no doubt that Granada is a potential stock, if Wu Lei is transferred to Granada, there is a process of excessive play in the La B football tournament for half a year, in fact, the strength of the La B team is not as bad as everyone thinks, and even exceeds many Chinese Super League teams.

Second, Granada has a Chinese-funded background, and there will naturally be no fewer opportunities to play after Wu Lei joins, although it sounds a bit ugly to rely on relationships, but who cares about that at this time? And Wu Lei's strength is not bad, if he really gains a firm foothold in the team with a few opportunities, then naturally no one will say anything about relying on relationships to get to the top!

"That's it!" The more Ji Qin thought about it, the more he felt that Granada was the most suitable team for Wu Lei at the moment, and now the key question was how to convince all aspects!

First of all, no matter how good Granada's potential is, it is still only a team in La Liga, and it still needs to work hard to let Wu Lei, the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League, join. And the clubs on both sides also have to ventilate, Granada can not get much transfer fees in the winter transfer period, so how to satisfy all aspects depends on the ability of Ji Qin, the agent!

The first thing Ji Qin went to see was Wu Lei, the only star under his name. I have to say that the magic of the system has never been seen by Ji Qin and Wu Lei, but Wu Lei and the people around him are no strangers to Ji Qin, the agent who replaced Petrika and suddenly appeared, and it is natural that he is Wu Lei's agent.

Later, I asked the system to find out that in order to make Ji Qin Wu Lei's agent, the system actually added a memory to all the people involved. At the beginning, Ji Qin was a young player who trained with Wu Lei in the Genbao training base, but later because of an injury, Ji Qin said goodbye to football. In order to continue to engage in football-related sports, Ji Qin applied for the football agent exam and became the agent of his good brother Wu Lei!

Although this memory was fabricated out of thin air, the amazing thing is that Ji Qin actually found his material document in the Genbao training base later, and the photo on it was his own when he was a child!

When he came to Wu Lei's house, it was his wife Zhong Jiabei who opened the door for Ji Qin.

If every successful him is concerned, there is always a different her behind her. Then Zhong Jiabei is the pillar behind Wu Lei!

Zhong Jiabei, like Wu Lei, is a low-key and introverted character, unwilling to appear in front of the media to expose herself, with tens of millions of family properties but likes to travel by subway. For Zhong Jiabei, this is the real life. It is necessary to run the family well, be a good wife and mother, and send love and warmth to Wu Lei in the low peak period.

In 2014, Wu Lei, who won the top scorer in the country, attracted more and more attention from the outside world. But in the middle of the season, he suffered a goal drought. Under the pressure of missing a penalty at the club and the doubts of the fans, Wu Lei stood on the field against Kuwait on behalf of the national football team. That night, he scored his first goal for the national team, and after the goal, Wu Lei made a heart-to-heart gesture to the stands, giving the honor to his new wife!

Wu Lei also admitted himself: Without my wife Zhong Jiabei, I would not have been able to get out of the trough so quickly, and I would not have achieved today.

As his fame and income grew, Wu Lei faced a lot of doubts and scoldings, as well as more temptations. But for those fancy worlds, Wu Lei automatically put on an insulating cloak. The only time Wu Lei and his wife made headlines was because they were photographed by netizens because they were squeezing the subway to travel. The first local striker with an annual salary of 10 million does not take luxury cars to crowd the subway, and his wife is also willing to travel in this way, and the Wu Lei couple has become a clear stream in the football circle.

"Brother Qin, are you here? Come on in! "Ji Qin and Wu Lei grew up together and have been friends for many years, so Wu Lei's wife Zhong Jiabei is no stranger to Ji Qin. Ji Qin and Wu Lei are both 27 years old, but Wu Lei's birthday is in November, and Ji Qin's birthday is in August, so Wu Lei and his wife are used to calling Ji Qin "Brother Qin"!

Ji Qin smiled and handed over the fruit he had just bought in his hand and said, "What about Leizi?" Zhong Jiabei wiped her hands and took the fruit and said, "It's inside!" ”

When Ji Qin came to the living room, he saw Wu Lei, who was dressed in home clothes, slumped on the sofa playing games, and his children were frolicking on the side. Wu Lei is the same age as himself, but he got married early and has two children, a son and a daughter make Ji Qin not envious!

Wu Lei focused on the football game on the TV and didn't notice Ji Qin. However, his eldest daughter and youngest son saw Ji Qin, and ran to Ji Qin excitedly and said, "Uncle Ji is good! Ji Qin squatted down with a smile and touched the two little nodding heads and said, "Eh, that's really good!" As he spoke, he took out two of the latest toys from his bag and handed them to them: "This is a gift that Uncle Ji bought for you, see if you like it or not?" ”

The two children looked happy with the result: "I like it!" Thank you uncle! ”

"Brother Qin, every time you come, you bring them gifts, the house is almost full of toys!" Zhong Jiabei washed the fruit brought by Ji Qin, looked at the toys in the hands of the two children, and smiled helplessly at Ji Qin.

"Hey! Kids, it's not normal to like to play, I didn't have this condition when I was a child, otherwise I would be even crazier than they played! Ji Qin smiled and looked at the two children who opened the gifts, and suddenly felt that he was old!
